The
Hawk is a tandem-seat Aircraft for ground attack, flying
training and weapon training. It has a low wing and an all-metal
structure and is powered by an Adour Mk 871 turbofan engine. The
Aircraft has an integrated navigation /attack system and radio
and inertial navigation systems. The Aircraft is cleared for
instrument (IFR) flying and for Solo Instrument flying from the
front cockpit only.

Flying Characteristics

The aircraft has excellent flying characteristics with good stability and response to controls about all three axes

The aircraft is cleared for a wide range of aerobatic manoeuvres and exhibits very good resistance to departure even outside the normal flight envelope

At incidences up to the stall, the aircraft is stable about all axes for all flap configurations

Recovery from any stall is immediate on moving the control column forward

The Hawk Mk.132 wing has a moderate amount of fixed droop to the leading edge to aid sustained turn performance in the speed range 0.4 to 0.7 M

The aircraft is spin-resistant, but is cleared for deliberate upright spinning in the basic aircraft configuration with or without the gunpod

The aircraft is currently cleared for take-off and landing with a crosswind component of 30 knots (55 km/hr)

For solo flying the front cockpit is used

The aircraft has an inverted flight (negative g) capability of 30 secs

The aircraft may be flown at night, either dual or solo, without any additional flight limitations

International Co-Operation

The Division has made a breakthrough on
Exports by bagging the biggest ever export contract from
Airbus Industries France, for the supply of Forward Passenger
Doors for A320/A321.

The Division’s performance in the supply of export packages
has been credited with “No rejection “and “No Delay “at most
competitive prices.
